Mint is my first distro! Love it as a nice simple intro to Linux.

Why would anyone want to use off brand windows? 🤔😐

Jesus christ, linux isn't even linux enough for some of you linux bros.

Because it's an easy transition to Linux, which is beneficial in numerous ways. If you're gatekeeping Linux distros, you can kindly leave normal people alone.

Mint Debian Edition FTW

Newb here: what's the diff?

I don't use arch BTW

From my limited understanding it's based on Debian instead of Ubuntu (which is based on Debian). The purpose is to have a fallback in the event Canonical snaps Ubuntu out of existence.

Good pun, even if unintended

Here comes Arch Linux with a steel chair!!

Here comes Arch Linux with the parts for a steel chair! Now they're pulling out the instructions for putting it together! Uh oh, the instructions say what kind of bolts they need, but not how many! Arch is trying to fit it all together anyway! Hmm, looks like some of the assembly steps are missing... ok, Arch has got something that looks like a chair constructed... now they're going to test it by sitting down... oh, and the chair frame has held together but the seat has fallen off. Arch forgot about not breaking user space again!

And now here comes Gentoo with a... a coal forge? Oh my God he's forging a steel chair from a metal blank! But what's this? Hes pulling out a smaller forge to forge a hammer for the bigger forge! The humanity!

And now here comes Debian, he enters the room and sits on chair that was there for few years already, and sits there for the next few years

And oh my god, here comes Windows with a steel chair! Its a fine chair that almost anyone can sit in, as long as its updated regularly and paid for, or else they take off two of the legs. She whacks you with it, but only with the long end of the chair by default, which really stings. If you prefer to be hit with the flat of the chair, she desperately tries to convince you that being hit with the Edge is better.

I never used Gentoo. Was it really that bad lol

I briefly experimented with it ages ago. And I mean ages ago, like 20+ years ago. Maybe it's changed somewhat since then, but my understanding is that Gentoo doesn't provide binary packages. Everything gets compiled from source using exactly the options you want and compiled exactly for your hardware. That's great and all but it has two big downsides:

• Most users don't need or even want to specify every compile option. The number of compile options to wade through for some packages (e.g. the kernel) is incredibly long, and many won't be applicable to your particular setup.
• The benefits of compiling specifically for your system are likely questionable, and the amount of time it takes to compile can be long depending on your hardware. Bear in mind I was compiling on a Pentium 2 at the time, so this may be a lot less relevant to modern systems. I think it took me something like 12 hours to do the first-time compile when I installed Gentoo, and then some mistake I made in the configuration made me want to reinstall and I just wasn't willing to sit through that again.

Meanwhile Pop_OS! is back in Brooklyn keeping the plumbing business going.

*plumbing ..... unless you were going for some sexual innuendo I don't understand

Real talk, Pop_OS! is just nice. Besides Blackbox and like 3 Gnome Extensions I hadn't had to change or add anything. It's a great experience and I recommend it to everyone.
